Special Education Needs Survey

SEN Statement

We are committed to working with the whole school community to provide the best possible education for all students. We aim to ensure all students have the opportunity to develop their abilities and to fulfil their potential, both academically and socially, in order to live in the world as independent women.

To achieve this, we work with students, staff, parents and external agencies to assess and understand individual student needs and provide the most effective ways to meet their needs in a mainstream school. We will provide relevant and effective training to all staff to enable them to personalise teaching and learning for all students.

The Learning Support Team consists of the SENCo, a second in charge of Learning Support and 9 LSAs. The specialisms of the teaching staff within Learning Support are literacy and numeracy skills development. We do also have a Learning Mentor who provides organisational and emotional support for students who benefit from this.

The fact that the lower school building is listed does mean that we do not have the same accessibility as other modern buildings. We do not have lifts which access all areas and certain rooms and departments are inaccessible to students with significant mobility issues. The building is also not acoustically treated.

If you would like to discuss our provision in more detail then please do contact the SENCo.

The Grey Coat Hospital University Leavers Data

As many of us do, AXA Insurance and Road Safety Analysis believe that one child casualty on Britain’s roads is too much.

The data is presented by local area in order to aid the understanding of risk – it’s not just about killed or seriously injured, but about any incident reported to the police. Although road safety issues may arise due to a myriad of different reasons including proximity to busy roads and local speed limits, schools play a pivotal role in mitigating these risks by investing time in road safety education programmes.
